XLR8R+010 is an Icelandic special curated by Bjarki and featuring tracks by Volruptus, EVA808, Kuldaboli, and Bjarki himself.

For those unfamiliar, XLR8R+ is a monthly subscription service supporting XLR8R and independent music and culture. A subscription gets you three exclusive tracks every month, plus a zine, wallpaper artwork, and other goodies such as sample packs, free event tickets, vinyl giveaways, and more.

This month’s edition is our first curated package, a special edition focusing on the fertile creative scene of Iceland and artists in Bjarki’s orbit. Joining him on this edition are EVA808, the rising Iceland-born, Sweden-based producer, who delivers “Low Hoe,” an emotive dancefloor cut full of heavy beats that shows why she is regarded as one of bass music’s fast-rising artists. Up next, enigmatic alien Volruptus returns to XLR8R with a typically warped slice of broken-beat madness, before the elusive Kuldaboli rounds out the edition with some breakneck techno.

Alongside the tracks, Bjarki has offered up a sample pack used on his most recent album, Happy Earthday, featuring a range of processed loops, field recordings, instruments, and more. He’s also as well penned an essay on his history and how Iceland and its artists have influenced his sound.
